ON ANNUALS. 
45 
selected list of the best kinds in each class. In order to do which 
I commence with 
Hardy Annuals. —These, for an early bloom, should be sown 
about the last week in February, in the places in which they are 
to remain, sowing rather more than will be required in each 
place, the superfluous plants to be transplanted, as soon as large 
enough; and for a regular succession, another sowing should be 
made in March, in the same manner ; and a third in April, or the 
early part of May. Transplanting a few, from each sowing, pro¬ 
duces a very regular supply of flowers ; as those which are re¬ 
moved, bloom about ten days or a fortnight later than those which 
remain where sown ; and, consequently, remain in flower about 
that time longer, or after the others, and are succeeded by those 
sown a month later. The best of them are—

Half-hardy Annuals are those which require some slight arti¬ 
ficial protection, when sown early. Many of those included in
